Tools for Sustainability Analysis Sample Clauses

Tools for Sustainability Analysis. ‌ In order to assess the business value of the SOCIABLE system the consortium will identify financial models, sustainability indicators, as well as Key Performance Indicator (KPIs). For the pure financial and business oriented assessment, the project will resort to capital budgeting in order on the one hand to verify the economic benefits of the SOCIABLE approach to cognitive support, and on the other to assess the sustainability of possible business ventures. Specifically, capital budgeting will be applied as a tool to assess how the SOCIABLE systems (comprising hardware, software, middleware) and related processes (that are associated with training, re‐engineering and support) could be used to improve the bottom lines (especially for private organizations). In the scope of the capital budgeting methodology5 related financial models and indicators will be calculated. The process will include a detailed estimation of the costs and benefits associated with the deployment of the SOCIABLE platform and the adoption of the SOCIABLE approach for cognitive training and social activation in care/leisure centres and hospitals. More specifically, the following methods will be explored:  The payback method, which will measure the time required to pay back the initial investment on the SOCIABLE approach (including hardware, software, telecommunications, personnel and consulting costs). The payback will be calculated as the ratio of the cost of the original investment to the annual net cash inflows.  The accounting rate of Return‐on‐Investment (ROI), which will be used to calculates rate of return by adjusting the cash inflows produced by the investment in SOCIABLE for depreciation. The ROI will be based on the calculation of the net benefit (as the ration (total benefit ‐ total costs ‐ depreciation)/useful_life) and accordingly the division of net benefit with the total initial investment.  The net present value (NPV) which is calculated as the amount of money the SOCIABLE investment will worth, taking into account its cost, earnings, and the time value of money (i.e. the value of revenues or streams of revenues to be received in the future).  The cost‐benefit ratio, which is the ratio of total benefits to total costs.  The internal‐rate‐of‐return (IRR), for SOCIABLE investment, which is the rate of return or profit that the investment is expected to earn, taking into account the time value of money. The models will be of special interest for profit organizations...
